TrueNAS MCP

An MCP server that turns your TrueNAS (SCALE) instance into tools. Manage pools, disks, datasets, apps, VMs and more from any MCP client. Built on FastMCP and the official truenas_api_client websocket library.

Authenticated with a TrueNAS API key over a persistent websocket connection. Targets TrueNAS 25.10 (pin: TS-25.10.3).

Run with Docker

You need a TrueNAS instance and an API key (Account Settings > API Keys).

docker build -t truenas-mcp .
docker run -e TRUENAS_URI=wss://truenas.example.com/api/current \
  -e TRUENAS_API_KEY=your-key \
  truenas-mcp

LOG_LEVEL

INFO

Values can come from a .env file in the working directory. API-key auth uses auth.login_with_api_key over the persistent connection (TrueNAS 25.10 SCRAM - no username needed).

Serve over HTTP

By default the server talks stdio (one process per client). To expose it as an HTTP MCP endpoint behind a gateway (e.g. LiteLLM), set the FastMCP transport env vars - no code change required:

env

default

FASTMCP_TRANSPORT

stdio

FASTMCP_HOST

127.0.0.1

FASTMCP_PORT

8000

FASTMCP_STREAMABLE_HTTP_PATH

/mcp

Example - serve streamable-http on all interfaces:

FASTMCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http FASTMCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 FASTMCP_PORT=8000 \
  truenas-mcp

Tools

system_info, list_pools, list_disks, list_datasets, list_apps, list_vms, truenas_call (generic middleware escape hatch).
